What experts such as Dr Loo are also concerned with is that BEB can sometimes progress to involve other muscles in the lower part of the face and neck in a condition known as Meige Syndrome. You can see how BEB is potentially an issue as daily activities such as driving or crossing the road become hazardous. Then, you may find yourself closing your eyes uncontrollably. It starts off as an increased frequency in blinking when there is bright light, wind or stress, said Dr Loo. There’s also benign essential blepharospasm (BEB), where both eyes can close without your doing so.

Sometimes, instead of just your eyelid, one half of your face could be affected, too. It affects only the lower or upper eyelid on one side,” she said. “One of my patients described it as feeling a heartbeat below her eye. The most common form of benign twitching is known as eyelid myokymia and its intermittent frequency can last for several days to weeks, said Dr Loo. The bug was caused during "routine maintenance," she added, and Flickr users should have every expectation that Flickr will keep their private photos private.For all the mystery that old wives’ tales associate with twitching, the action could just simply be your eyes’ reaction to fatigue, strain, stress, too much caffeine, dryness or excessively oily lids, said Dr Loo. "We're deeply sorry this happened and that we're working with affected users directly to fix the issue," she said. Update: A Yahoo spokesperson says the breach was "very, very small," which is why the company is contacting users directly rather than posting an announcement on the company blog. I am utterly disgusted and shaking I am so angry." "Not only do I have to go back and change all the permissions, BUT changing the permissions changes the code, which means I have to go through each post and re-apply all my pictures. "it has utterly decimated my food blogging site which is a huge source of revenue for me," paid user MommyNamedApril wrote in the forum.

Setting a photo to private also apparently wipes the description and breaks the code anywhere else the photo is embedded on the web.įlickr overcorrected by setting public photos to private, which created additional problems Some users reported that they now have to comb through hundreds of photos and manually set them back to public. However, this has caused additional problems for affected users, who found that their intentionally public photos were now private. "įlickr set "any potentially impacted photos" to private, in an attempt to make things right. I immediately deleted my private photos - but I wonder if they are really gone or if they turn up again at some point. "Thanks for alerting me to the problem that private photos might get public," one paid user wrote in the forums.

Some users, especially those paying for a Flickr Pro account, were upset enough to threaten defection. Other users who noticed the bug last week reported that they tried to set their suddenly-public photos back to private, but the settings kept reverting to public. "I'd imagine these would be the people most likely affected in a serious way by this." "Flickr has a pretty significant but very carefully hidden huge amateur porn community - just search for 'milf' with safe search off for all photos," photographer and outspoken Flickr critic Thomas Hawk said in an email.
"I had a few naughty photos and they are for friends only," wrote user kathynails1. The breach may have affected only a small percentage of users, but it's a blow to Flickr's credibility considering the company reassures users that "your photos are safe with us," and "member privacy is very important to us at Flickr." And yes, some X-rated photos were temporarily made public. "I had a few naughty photos and they are for friends only."

"This is not a widespread nor an ongoing issue - the software bug has been identified and fixed." "Only a small number of Flickr users were impacted, and we are in the process of directly contacting those individuals," Flickr vice president Barry Wayn told users in a help forum thread. The photos were not included in Flickr's search engine or outside search engines, Flickr told users, but they would have been visible to a viewer who was browsing an affected photographer's stream. The Yahoo-owned photo-sharing site is quietly dealing with the fallout from a bug that caused the settings on an unknown number of private photos to become publicly visible between January 18 and February 7.
Well, this is no way to celebrate Flickr's ninth birthday.
